Panoramic 360-Degree Video Technology

Caption:

Researchers at the Integrated Media Systems Center at the University of Southern California—a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center—have developed panoramic 360-degree video technology that is being used for various projects. In one project, the panoramic camera photographed a circular fish tank with live tropical fish. Users wore a head-mounted display that helped to create the illusion that they were immersed in the water with the swimming fish. In another project—this one on new digital tools for journalism, the panoramic camera was used to capture a dramatic sense of the difficult conditions of the homeless on a downtown Low Angeles street. The results of this exercise were used as part of a report on the homeless developed by journalism students as an academic exercise.
